SERVICES WORTH* | $43,000 |
LESS: MRA GRANT | $21,500 |
TOTAL COST TO BUSINESS | $21,500 |
Assuming the services for market set-up is worth S$43,000 and the government provides the maximum support of 50%, which is capped at S$21,500, the cost to your business will be the difference between the 2 figures. This stands at S$21,500.
